Promising review: "Love this pen! It’s perfect for on the go or around the world! Took it with me to Paris, Canada, and to regional chorus events. Holds up well, good quality product, doesn’t make my eyes water. Love, love, love! " —C&HM

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in three shades).

Promising review: "Didn't know my cheeks needed this. I have never been a big fan of using lip oils on my cheeks, but I tried this and wow, do I love it. It gives me a dewy glow that lasts all day without clogging pores or anything. My cheeks stay on the dry side, and this has been a total game changer. It has become a must-have for my daily routine." —Mel

Get it from Ulta for $27 (also available in two other shades).

Promising review: "Beautiful! The packaging makes it super easy to dispense the product and convenient to take on the go. The pearly color worked well for my olive undertones. I use two methods for application. The first is just my hands: I'll warm the product up on the back of my hand, then apply using my fingers to the high points of my cheeks and nose. The second: If I want a more precise application, I'll pick up the product with a brush and apply it to the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone. The product wears well and layers well both under and over powder. I'm interested in trying the more pink shade now! Highly recommend this!" —Jasmine

Get it from Ulta for $28 (available in six shades).

Promising reviews: "I have never gotten as many compliments on my lips until I bought this in 'wherever walnut.' I pair it with the vanilla Summer Fridays lip gloss, and it’s the perfect combo!" —klc14

"HOTTTT!!! Been loving this popping orange pencil. I bought it to use as an eyeliner and it is such a fun summer color. Just adds a little spice to the eyes." —leatherette

Get it from Sephora for $26 (available in 20 shades and two finishes).

Promising reviews: "The best lip balm! Even works on my destroyed lips after a ski weekend where they were completely wind- and cold chapped." —salator

"It took me forever to get around to trying Balm Dotcom, but holy cannoli, this salve deserves every bit of hype it gets. I’ve been using it on my lips and cuticles, and it’s super hydrating with lasting effects! My job is very tough on my hands, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my cuticles. I’ll never not have a tube of this on hand!" —kristenanto

Get it from Sephora for $16 (available in 11 tints/scents).

Promising review: "I really like this brow glue. It keeps my eyebrows in place all day without feeling stiff or heavy. The formula is clear and gives a natural finish, which I love because it doesn’t leave any residue or flakes. It’s easy to apply and works well to shape and lift the brows. The packaging is nice, and the size is convenient to carry in a makeup bag. Overall, it does a great job keeping my brows looking neat and defined." —Cristina

Get it from Amazon for $9.26+ (available in five shades and a combo two-pack).

Promising review: "Hello, new favorite! This stuff is excellent quality and blends so seamlessly into my light olive skin tone...and it is really, really hard to find a shade that works for me. Perfect for warmer weather and pairs excellently with natural cream blush/concealer/illuminator for that dewy no-makeup makeup look. Feels like I don’t have anything, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend!" —Leanna

Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in 11 shades).

Promising review: "I was literally out in the sun all day, danced, sweat everywhere, and the rest of me was a mess. Know what stayed? My makeup. Thanks to this magic primer. They’ve officially made a forever client out of me." —Jordan Ehren

Promising review: "Love how lightweight these are! I purchased the peche and rose, and they are wonderful to add to my routine. They add color in a light and beautiful way. Must, must, must have for those who love a natural look, with just a dash of glam!" —Isidora

Get it from Westman Atelier for $58 (available in four shades).

Promising review: "I would give my firstborn and last for this. I’m obviously kidding, but I do love this so much! This is the only powder I use and has been for years. I can’t even explain how many times I’ve repurchased this." —SmalyChham

"Holy grail! Absolutely incredible. This powder brightens my under-eyes and blurs my pores so well. It keeps my oils at bay without emphasizing dry patches. I’ll be picking up another one for sure!!" —naun1

Get it from Sephora for $23+ (available in two sizes and 13 shades).

Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but this product warrants one. When it comes to highlighters or glow lotions, I don't like a ton of shine where my face looks like I've got high beams on. This 'glotion' provides the perfect balance of hydration and glow; it isn't drying whatsoever, and it lasts a while. For this price, don't think, just buy it and try it. You won't regret!" —City Boy

Get it from Amazon for $14.51+ (available in five shades and two-packs).

Promising review: "HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! Literally so glad I bought this after so much reluctance on if I could justify buying a $20 sponge. I got a great deal here on Amazon, and I went for it, and I have never gone back to using my hands or brushes to blend my foundation or concealer. This just gives an amazing finish to the skin." —Nadia

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in six colors and a combo two-pack).

Promising review: "I bought several colors, and they're truly all amazing. I love that I can take one color (or more if I want) and be able to touch up lips, cheeks, and lids with one product. Easy to apply and fun to layer! I also love what the company stands for!" —Anna B.

Get it from Credo Beauty for $28 (available in two styles and six shades).

Promising review: "The colors are perfect. They are easy to apply and blend in flawlessly! Works well with my dry skin." —Sherri

Get it from Ulta for $36 (available in 10 shade combos).

Promising review: "I just have to brag about this product. I have always applied eyeshadow by starting with concealer as a base, setting it with powder, and then applying eyeshadow. I broke my dominant arm a while back, and blending became very difficult for me. I had never used liquid shadow before because I assumed it would be difficult to work with — messy, sticky, and tacky, among other things. This product gave me the ability to apply eyeshadow again, despite having very limited mobility. I swear, you barely have to manipulate it for it to blend seamlessly. Anyone with any skill level can create a product that blends into the skin flawlessly. It doesn't dry too quickly, but once it does, it is totally dry and doesn't leave tackiness. While I was struggling with my limited mobility, this product allowed me to apply my makeup again and feel like myself with very little effort, which was all I could manage at the time. I am grateful to have had this product during one of the hardest times of my life. I was very dependent on others for almost every other thing I had to do, but with this product, doing my makeup was something I was capable of, and it made my healing journey more bearable." —carleyc

Get it from Ulta for $8.50+ (originally $17; available in 29 colors).

Promising reviews: "This is personally my go-to foundation replacement for the summer. It’s lightweight. It goes on easily. It blends beautifully, and it gives you the most youthful glow-from-within look. I’m obsessed. 😭" —capbrisun

"My literal holy grail product. I am obsessed with it. Great with moisturizer on its own for summer days and great under makeup! I also use this for glow on my chest hehe." —julzp123

Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes and four shades).

Promising review: "I love how evenly and smoothly this goes on my eyelids. What’s even better than that is that a blending brush/sponge is on the other end of the eyeshadow stick! It’s so handy because you don’t have to use your fingertips to blend the eyeshadow. I wear this every day to the gym. I sweat a ton, and this eyeshadow stays on. It’s a great product, and I think it’s priced fairly." —Kelly D–M

Get it from Amazon for $15.12+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get this price on the bronze shimmer color; available in 39 colors).

Promising review: "My daughter is a competitive athlete and loves to wear mascara, but hates when the mascara runs or is difficult to take off. Ere Perez to the rescue. Nice long mascara lashes (and the added benefit of brow gel) without the hassle! Thank you!" —Shantel B.

Promising review: "The color is very beautiful and resistant. I used it as eyeshadow or as eyeliner, and it is very transfer-proof even with a hooded eye. The color is very beautiful and complements my brown eyes. Also, I used Lune Liner in ultraviolet as a liner on top, and it made it pop very nicely. Love the product." —Andreea V.

Get it from Violette_FR for $32 (available in 17 shades and two finishes)

Promising review: "I purchased this tint in a couple of shades, and I have to say that I am incredibly impressed. It is not drying or uncomfortable. And the staying power! It seriously lasts 8+ hours while wearing a mask, eating, drinking, sweating, and talking all day long. I soooo recommend this product." —Sharon

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in 38 shades).

Promising review: "I LOVE this bronzer! This bronzer is a creamy powder, velvety to the touch, which makes applying it a breeze. I use it every day as contour/bronzer, and it does a beautiful job of warming up the skin while still looking natural. The formula doesn't have any glitter but has almost a satin finish, which leaves the skin looking glowy and radiant. And the smell! It's like a tropical vacation in a compact, I can't get enough. There are several shades of this bronzer, so if you think you need something lighter or darker, just try a different color. For reference, I have light/medium skin with warm/neutral undertones, and I think the classic bronzer shade looks perfect on me." —K. Jenkins

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in eight shades).

Promising review: "OMG! This is amazing, looks great, and has staying power! I am an older gal and love glitter... Do I look like a disco ball?... Yes...and I love it!" —Pate

Promising review: "I love this product! Works really well for my skin. Although I don’t have acne, I’m usually red as a tomato. The product is a little bigger than what I thought it was going to be; it’s a decent size. What I liked about this cream was that it wasn’t thick and it goes smooth on my face very easily. It’s slightly thinner than your average lotion. It blended into my skin so well, and the redness was gone within about 30 seconds. Afterward, I just added a bit of mascara, and that’s about it. No need for foundation. My new holy grail!" —Jesse James

Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (also available in a two-pack and four other styles).

Promising review: "A sparkle lover's dream!!! I’ve tried a few different shades of this product and loved all of them. The foils and sparkles are some of the most impactful in my collection, and I can use them over anything or on their own and get a look that lasts all night!" —planetclaire921

Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in tons of shades and three finishes).

Promising review: "I have hollow, dark under-eye circles, and concealer never works for me because it just makes my under-eyes dry and doesn’t conceal the darkness. THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. It has a very hydrating formula, and a tiny bit goes a very, very long way. I’m so impressed and incredibly happy with this purchase!" —Val

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades),

Promising review: "I really like the highlighter palette. It goes on light and doesn't feel overly 'highlighted,' but I like the fact that I can layer to get a more glowy effect. I will definitely buy again when I need to." —Amanda R

Promising review: "I don’t know how to do makeup. This eyeliner is awesome! A simple stamp for the wings, and I just fill in the rest. It glides on smoothly and lasts all day and sometimes through to the evening. Even through sweat. I have hooded eyelids, and this eyeliner with its magic opens up my eyes and makes me look like I’ve gotten a good night's rest. 😁" —Gomez

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three wing sizes and a combo pack).

Promising review: "Blush is not an integral part of my routine, so being able to keep this in my bag to brighten up my cheeks when I need to is great. Obviously purchased it because I can apply it, keep my hands clean, and not have to carry around an additional brush or Beautyblender." —Vi

Get it from Ulta for $37 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "I really love this Ilia skin tint! It feels very lightweight on the skin and gives a beautiful, natural glow. The coverage is perfect for everyday wear, and the SPF 40 protection is a great bonus. It blends easily and leaves my skin looking healthy and radiant. Definitely a staple in my daily makeup routine. 💄✨" —Elisa

Get it from Amazon for $48 (available in 27 shades).

Promising review: "Love using this on my cheeks and occasionally on my lips. Every time I wear this, I get so many compliments on how I look sun-kissed. A must-have for a no-makeup makeup look." —mrshgreg

Get it from Sephora for $28+ (available in eight shades and a value size in the original "Benetint" shade).

Promising review: "This really helps your makeup look flawless. I have been using this for years. I use it all year round. My skin is combination. A little of this goes a long way. I like the compliments that I get. I have purchased a few sample sizes for friends." —Trish

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes).
